Your meals will be prepared for you in Casa Colibri’s spacious and well-equipped kitchen. You can eat “indoors” in the palapa, or dine al fresco on one of the terraces.

We have our own brand of coffee roasted and ground in the tiny mountain village of Jalcocoltan, in the midst of a prime coffee producing area.

The cooks arrive at 7:30, and will prepare the breakfast of your choice, together with a fruit platter, coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice. The main meal of the day is taken between 1-2 PM, called "Comida", and is usually followed by a quiet siesta.

A light supper can usually be scrounged from leftovers, or the well stocked larder. The cooks leave at 4:30.

The meals package includes all the food and produce, drinks, and snacks that you can reasonably consume. The menus have been designed over time, and are plentiful, healthy, delicious and varied. In addition, the maid cooks, serves and cleans up. No fuss, no trouble, no shopping, no cooking, no doing the dishes. This is what you call a vacation in paradise.

These menus are designed around the freshest and finest produce. This is real Mexican food at its best. A variety of different salads is offered – the local produce is wonderful.

Please do not be afraid to ask what things are, to talk to the cooks, practice your Spanish, or ask Ismael if you have special needs or concerns. Our cooks are trained in the highest standards of cleanliness and we pride ourselves on providing this service of the best quality.

All Villas come complete with cook. The cooks will take good care of you, between meals cleaning and doing laundry. This allows EVERYONE to have a vacation from cooking and cleaning as well. We have had great success with our food packages and have priced them to be a bargain.

If you plan a fishing trip, just advise Ismael, the manager, and the cooks will have breakfast ready when you return, and prepare your catch for dinner. We have never sent out a party that has not brought back enough fish.

THE MEAL PACKAGE:

Because there are no readily accessible grocery stores or restaurants, the “meal package” was created. This package is not optional, but it represents a terrific bargain in terms of price, quality and convenience. Nayarit is a state of bountiful produce, and every street corner has a market selling fresh fruits and vegetables, both grown locally and brought from other parts of Mexico. The days of beans and tortillas as the mainstay of our diets is long past, and our cooks are plentifully supplied with the freshest of produce, dairy products and meats. And of course there is the sea, where fish and shrimp and oysters are brought in daily. Our cooks are very flexible both in catering to individual tastes as well as to special dietary requirements.

Ismael, the onsite manager, operates the meal service package. Payment is made directly to Ismael in cash. Meals package pricing is as follows:

$210.00 USD per person per week for adults; $105 USD per week for children 5-11; no charge for children 0-4.

Sunday, which is the cooks' day off, you’re on your own for breakfast, and for dinner we all head for Platanitos, the local fishing village five minutes away, for an awesome comida of shrimp and fish that will satisfy the pickiest palate; this Sunday meal is included as part of the meal package.
